The novel dilute Mg-0.5Sn-0.7Al-0.8Zn alloy, directly extruded after casting, exhibited a fine bimodal grained microstructure, local nano-precipitates micro-region, and typical extrusion direction (ED)-tilted texture. It achieved a great balance between tensile properties and corrosion resistance, suggesting its potential for development as a biomaterial.
A novel dilute Mg-0.5Sn-0.7Al-0.8Zn alloy was developed and directly extruded after casting process. The extruded alloy consisted of fine bimodal grained microstructure, local nano-precipitates micro-region and typical extrusion direction (ED)-tilted texture. A great balance between tensile properties (YS = 262.7 MPa, EL = 26.0%) and corrosion resistance (Pi = 1.57 mm/a) was achieved and discussed in terms of grain size, structure, orientation as well as precipitates and/or corrosion product film. As a result, this dilute alloy system shows the great potential to be developed as a biomaterial.
